Rotational glenohumeral adaptations are associated with shoulder pathology in professional male handball players

Abstract

Cross-Sectional study with control group, Level II.

Sports Imaging of Team Handball Injuries

“…An ultrasonography study of 87 active professional handball players found a lower prevalence of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears and also no full-thickness tears. 27 Both studies suggest that partial-thickness, but not fullthickness tears, are compatible with active game play and are prevalent on MRI studies of handball players.…”

“…Studies in handball players reported MRI findings of posterosuperior impingement in 37% and sonographic findings in 15% of studies, whereas such findings were rarely seen in the nonthrowing and volunteer shoulders. 26,27 Posterior labral tears are rare in the general population but present in 30% of throwing and 17% of nonthrowing shoulders of handball players. 29 Chronic posterior labral tears often give rise to ganglion cysts of various sizes that can extend and compress branches of the suprascapular nerve with subsequent muscle denervation and atrophy (►Fig.…”

Preseason Clinical Shoulder Test Results and Shoulder Injury Rate in Adolescent Elite Handball Players: A Prospective Study

“…Many previous studies on handball have not described the incidence rate of shoulder injuries in relation to the exposure, e.g. per 1,000 hours, but instead reported the number of shoulder injuries and the proportion of the total number of injuries or the prevalence of shoulder pain (40,44,48,65,67,68,70,74,85,94,(96)(97)(98)(99)(100). A summary of shoulder injuries and problems in handball is presented in Table 3.…”

Eficacia Ofensiva en El Balonmano Femenino De Élite en Situaciones De Superioridad Numérica

“…El balonmano es uno de los deportes más practicados de Europa (Prieto, Gómez y Sampaio, 2015) y, consecuentemente, es fuente de interés de la comunidad científica desde diversas facetas: biomédica (Asker, Waldén, Källberg, Holm y Skillgate, 2017;Fieseler, Hermassi, Hoffmeyer, Schulze, Irlenbusch, Bartels, Delank, Laudner y Schwesig, 2017;Grabara, 2018;Lubiatowski, Kaczmarek, Cisowski, Breborowicz, Grygorowicz, Dzianach, Krupecki, Laver y Romanowski, 2018;Pueo, Jiménez-Olmedo, Penichet-Tomas, Ortega y Espina, 2017), psicológica (Mayer y Thiel, 2018), del análisis del juego o match analysis (Cardinale, Whiteley, Hosny, Popovic, 2017;Gutiérrez, Fisette, García-López y Contreras, 2014;Navarro, Morillo, Reigal y Hernández-Mendo, 2018), relacionadas con la preparación física y el entrenamiento (Debanne, Laffaye y Trouilloud, 2018;Dello lacono, Martone, zagatto, Meckel, Sindiani, Milic y Padulo, 2018;Forthomme, Croisier, Delvaux, Kaux, Crielaard y Gleizes-Cervera, 2018;Hermassi, Chelly, Fieseler, Bartels, Schulze, Delank, Shepard y Schwesig, 2017;Menezes, dos Reis y Tourinho, 2015;Sabido, Hernández-Davo, Botella, Navarro y Tous-Fajardo, 2017;Srhoj, Rogulj, Padovan, y Katić, 2001;Wagner, Gierlinger, Adzamija, Ajayi, Bacharach, y von Duvillard, 2017).…”
